Critic Reviews

• Jason Solomons, Observer [UK]

  Muddled and sentimental, it is an unilluminating experience.

• Derek Malcolm, This is London

  There's virtually nothing here that we haven't seen before; the best of it is the acting of a fine cast which also includes Art Malik and David Schofield.

• Alex Zane, Sun Online

  This film doesn't have much we haven't seen before but it does have strong performances from a cast which lift this above its sometimes predictable material.

• David Edwards, Daily Mirror [UK]

  Screwed isn't just low rent, it comes with a finale so daft that the writer deserves six months in solitary.

• Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

  There is an uncomfortable naivety in the film's assumption that violence, when practised by the righteous, can be cathartic or redemptive.

• Neil Smith, Total Film

  It's no Scum or Shawshank, but on its own modest terms, Ghosted is an engrossing watch that wrings new blood from old clichés.

• Henry Fitzherbert, Daily Express

  It's well acted - especially by the underused Craig Parkinson as the resident psycho - but is by turns dull and unpleasant.

• Elliott Noble, Sky Movies

  Ghosted is not out to set any benchmarks. But despite its more modest ambitions, nobody's going to shove it around.

• Ian Freer, Empire Magazine

  A porridge of prison movie clichés.

• Robbie Collin, News of the World

  As is standard in reviews of prison movies, the Film Reviewers' Code obliges me to tell you "it's nowhere near as good as A Prophet". But even so, Ghosted's a top piece of work.
